Re: Dragging and dropping audio files

Yes; I'm doing what the manual indicates and for some (random) proportion of tracks it does not work.

Dragging and dropping audio files

This is not a major deal, since I have figured out a workaround, but in case it is indicative of something bigger: I'm running 2.3.2 under Catalina (so I'm using the Terminal launch). I record a weekly radio show (sparetherock.com) and I get the songs into Audacity typically by dragging from Music (...

Re: Audio speed

The show is, alas, me talking. (Well, it's a music show, but all of my recordings are me front- or back-selling songs.)

I don't remember which version was consistently working correctly. I did a show last night and it worked perfectly for the entire show. (This is a super frustrating issue!)

Re: Audio speed

Actually, I remember now that at least this Mackie interface doesn't require a driver -- it works through OS X's Core Audio infrastructure. So I don't have any drivers installed, so I'm pretty sure it's not a driver issue. My old interface (which was not a Mackie) did require drivers and frequently ...

Re: Audio speed

Yes, I'm aware that it doesn't formally support Sierra, but it has worked without these issues (on Sierra) for a long time. It is with the most recent update or two of Audacity that the speed issue has surfaced.

Re: Audio speed

Koz, Thanks for the response! Here are my notes: Start a recording with the microphone listening to a radio or something identifiable and then just let it go for an hour or so. Don't touch the computer. Did it change? Mark the time. Only you know what the experimental time should be. Doesn't have to...

Audio speed

Hi, I'm running 10.12.16 and Audacity 2.1.3, I believe installed from the .dmg installer. When I first start up my Mac, everything is swell with Audacity. At some point -- I have not been able to identify any instigating event -- any recording from microphones is sped up/made higher (both). I can ge...

Re: Recording is sped up [SOLVED]

That was it! How odd for the input rate for the Onyx to get changed (I certainly didn't go into Audio MIDI) but it was at 48k. Thanks!

Recording is sped up [SOLVED]

Hello, I've been using Audacity for years. I recently updated my Mac Mini to Sierra (fully updated, 10.12.2) and have also updated Audacity to 2.1.2, downloaded today; this problem existed under 2.1.1 as well. I have also restarted my machine. I record into Audacity via an Onyx 820i (same as for yea...
